Fancy a point from this one 1-1 I agree - just a sneaky feeling |

I've had the feeling for a while that we're just running out of players and options. I know I'm not alone in that view.
This group of players has overachieved this season. We've a run of tough games, and a few injuries. Could easily see us going on a run of games without a win, looking at the fixtures. Should get something from Gateshead, not sure about the others.
I've thought that earlier in the season too, but the players and Macca dug some big results abd performances out. Let's hope it happens again.
O'Brien should help in providing more options. If I recall correctly he's more of a wing back than a winger. That's an extra versatile player to choose from, and gives us width.
Be really pleased with a point today.

Point would be great. You never know it could be an 'after the Lord Mayor's show' from them after that great win at Tranmere last week.

Their isn't even a thread on the other DC. That forum is now dead.

Hard away game today, but we beat them 3-0 at the start of the season so if we turn up who knows, but we are very unpredictable.

I think it will be a big ask to get something from this game and I echo Harry Lime's thoughts above - our recent form proves that we are starting to suffer from having a small squad. At the same time though, we've proven we can upset the odds. May be a little too much for us today though. I predict we'll be beaten by two goals (2-0 or 3-1).
My team:
Roberts (because what's done is done and changing them again will make it worse)
Vassell Hudson Astles Hunt
O'Brien Shaw Lloyd Mahon
Durrell
Alabi
Pretty much picks itself really.

See Richards hasn't travelled down, leaves us a bit lightweight up front if Alibi takes a knock

Any commentary for this one other than Blues Player?

Chester XI Roberts, Horwood, Hunt, Astles, Hudson, Vassell, Durrell, George, Joyce, Shaw, Alabi Can't see us getting anything today with that team I'm afraid. Still no Mahon or Hughes. |

Would never slag off my own team but it does look very thin today! Surprised not to see Obrien over Joyce. Can see a defeat today but hoping for a sneaky 1-0 win. |

I think it will be won or lost in midfield - Lloyd a big loss

Is it just me or do our players take a lot longer to return from injury than other clubs e,g, Hughes, Mahon, Akintunde, Killock. Chappell

Not enthused to see Joyce in the starting 11

not a great deal of attacking intent in that starting line-up. Looks like another concede mid-field and let them run at us all day. Defend the penalty area with 9. hopefully works and we get a 0-0

Chester XI Roberts, Horwood, Hunt, Astles, Hudson, Vassell, Durrell, George, Joyce, Shaw, Alabi Well that's a defeat then. Not knocking Joyce hugely, he's a trier and we have the squad we have but he does seem something of a pointless player. Hopefully I'll be eating my words after his hattrick this afternoon. |

Oh dear, Joyce starting. He tries but he just isn't a conf prem player, lower end conf north at best.
Disappointed Lynch is on the bench again, I thought Roberts was poor at Dover. Assume it's part of the loan deal that we have had to start playing him.

Assume it's part of the loan deal that we have had to start playing him. Not great for the confidence of either keeper really, would prefer us to pick one and stick with him. Still Macca hasn't got a lot wrong this season so will give him the benefit of the doubt. |

Sounds like Roberts has just justified his selection though!
